new life for old clothes

[momontherun.livejournal.com]

I've had this top for 4 years and I only wore it once for a family picture, so i thought I'd try and get some use out of it....

Before:

and after: 

It was very simple.  i just stitched up the bottom & the arm holes, then cut the straps & sewed them together to make one long one. 
I haven't lined it yet, since I have nothing to match right now.  I have a sewing machine but i never use it because, well, I don't know how!
